SURVIAC Bulletin: Radar-Directed Gun System Simulation (RADGUNS) 2.2 Released, Volume 15 Issue 4

Abstract

Starting in September of 1999, SURVIAC began distributing the newest version of RADGUNS (Version 2.2) which was provided by the National Ground Intelligence Center (NGIC). RADGUNS is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Air Defense Artillery (ADA) gun systems against a penetrating aerial target. It can also evaluate the effectiveness of different airborne platform characteristics (RCS, maneuvers, use of electronic countermeasures, etc.) against a specific ADA system. RADGUNS is a complete one-on-one simulation including weapon system, operators, platform mode (RCS and presented/ vulnerable areas), flight profiles, environment (clutter/multipath), electronic attack, and endgame. RADGUNS can assess many aspects of a weapon system's performance including platform detection, tracking performance, probability of hit and probability of kill, expected number of hits, and the effects of jamming.
